A chakra relates to and broadcasts the energy of life force; it is a point of alignment in the body. Charka comes from the Sanskrit word that describes a constantly spinning wheel or the sphere aural energy we each have.

Traditional Hindu text maintains that there are more than 88,000 chakra points in the human body. However, the most essential of these various chakras are the seven chakra points that run along the spinal column to the crown of the head.

The originating point of these chakras is from the root or base chakra, and then moving up the spinal column we have the sex or navel chakra, the stomach or solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the brow or third eye chakra and the crown chakra. These seven major chakras receive and transmit signals to and fro from the universal surroundings or the infinite cosmos. It influences the spiritual, mystical, emotional, intellectual, corporeal and psychological condition of an individual.

There are many people or organizations that have their own explanation but there is still one that keeps them all tied together. No one knows if it comes from the view point of Chinese medicine or how the study of psychology looks at it. Each person sees the balance of chakra in their own way where the unconscious and conscious process of thought takes place. It is said that the Hindus explanation is also another form of explaining the chakra.

Irrespective of your awareness, the chakras are in constant motion. This continuous flow of energy influences the major structure, appearance, physical disorders, glandular processes as well as our thoughts and deeds. However, if one of the chakra shows a malfunction or imbalance in its system, then it is bound to develop symptoms in other areas too.

Many believe that this all happens because the chakras are part of the endocrine glad that is located inside your body. If you do not keep your chakras in balance then you will get what is known as a disturbance in this glad which will affect everything that is attached to it.

Maintaining Chakra Balance By understanding the point above as a point of beginning, our chakras associate with any type of illness or disease that you may experience. Of course, the appearance of an imbalance or ailment may not be recognizable, although there may be emotional issues that resurface from out childhood which can influence the physical, spiritual and emotional senses.

Generally speaking, the repressed or elapsed emotional balance that comes from experiences of past trauma is one of the main causes of imbalance of the chakras. The cellular level of the body is influenced by the emotional toxins that are habitually buried inside the subconscious of anyone.

Thus it is very essential to deal with the emotional baggages at once and delete them from your sub conscious.

Thus, it ca be said that the human body deserves Chakra Healing. By making use of techniques such as colour therapy, aromatherapy, Reiki healing and balancing the chakras while using crystals, gemstones or a pendulum we can influence our chakras directly.
